I would say don't try to stop it!, its just normal puppy behaviour 
Every puppy I've ever known has done this and I've not once known any of them come to any real harm.
All I have ever done when mine have got the zoomies (sorry catz1...I love that word to describe it so I'd like to borrow it  ) is if there is something on the floor they could potentially fall over or harm themselves on then shift it quick...but other than that I just stand back and laugh at it.
Usually I shout to my daughters "quick on the sofa, she's going beserk again"...they leap out the way and giggle like mad, they think its hilarious!
Added info : I have also owned and known many adult dogs that still do this too but usually just after they've had a bath.
